with a section of an raves-trough at't'chedv.

The object of our invention 4is topr'ovide a simple and conrenient means of attaching eavesftroughs to the I roofs'of buildings, titel, whereby their position may be regulated, and they beumoved, wh'eu'desred, fori pur' A poses of lremews'l,and repair; undl to this end' ourimprovement consists 1n providing a clump andhraoe f. `the support of theeaves-trougb, connected', by means of a set-screw, to a fixed bracket uponthe roof, in such' manner thatthetrough may be raised or lowered as convenience may require. 'In theaccompanying drawings- B represents a bracket, which is to be secured upon the roof in proper proximity toits edgefand which provided with a socket or guide, B-, at its outer end.

`A represents a section ofthe eaves-trough or gutter, which is supported by ineaps of a'braeo oristixvupra D, i of light sheet metall, passing under the trough', and bent to suit its form, and T-shaped clamp, C, which spant the troughysud is notched, to secure the edges thereof, for the purpose of maintaining' theimsttheir proper `distance apart.
